A mountain stream a hundred miles north of Jueqing Valley.
In a hidden cave, a black-faced man with a slovenly beard was lying on a bed of straw, slowly waking up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the man immediately looked around, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a mysterious figure sitting at the entrance of the cave. He was so startled that he stood up quickly, and then the injuries on his body were affected, and he groaned in pain: "Ugh."
"Hehehe, Master Guo, I advise you not to move around. Your injuries are not light."
A voice without joy or sorrow came into the cave, but it was the mysterious man sitting at the entrance of the cave who spoke.
Propping up his upper body on his elbows, Guo Jing looked at the mysterious man in surprise: "Who are you?"
He still remembered that he and Ouyang Feng and Qiu Qianren were fighting on the top of the mountain. He was slapped off the cliff by Ouyang Feng. He had no memory of what happened after that. He only vaguely remembered that he was in a daze. He was carried on someone's shoulders and walked all the way.
"Guo Daxia has great righteousness, served the country and the people, and made supreme contributions to the people of the Song Dynasty by guarding Xiangyang City. As a down-and-out commoner, I can't compare to Guo Daxia, even though I am just a humble name."
The mysterious man twisted his waist and stood up and walked towards Guo Jing. Through the faint light from the cave entrance, Guo Jing could see clearly the appearance of the man. He was dressed as a scribe, with three long beards, neat clothes, and a folding fan in his hand. He looked quite handsome. For elegance.
But what made Guo Jing very concerned was that this man was obviously dressed as a scribe, but the fan in his hand had a painting of an impermanent ghost with his tongue hanging out, which looked very strange.
Others may not recognize this fan, but Guo Jing had heard the origin of this fan from his father-in-law Huang Laoxie, and he secretly exclaimed: This person is actually the Wheel-turning King Zhang Yimeng? ?
Guo Jing didn't know much about this person. He only learned from his father-in-law that there was such a number one person. He was a weirdo in the Three Mountains and Five Mountains. His actions were both good and evil, and his actions were much weirder than those of his old father-in-law.
Therefore, Guo Jing, who is just and awe-inspiring, will naturally not know these people. Only Huang Yaoshi, who is also a weirdo, will know. As the saying goes, snakes have their own way, rats have their own way, and this is exactly what is said.
After all, Guo Jing is not in the same camp as these people. In other words, Guo Jing is like a policeman, and these people are madmen who walk on the bottom line of the law. Do you expect a policeman to drink at the same table with a wanted criminal? , different paths are impossible.
After seeing Guo Jing's reaction, Zhang Yimeng also knew that the other party might have recognized him, and he didn't think anything of it. He smiled and said, "Guo Daxia, did you get this injury from Ouyang Feng?"
Seeing that this man actually called Ouyang Feng by his name, with no fear in his words, it was obvious that he didn't take Xidu's name very seriously. Guo Jing didn't dare to make excuses, so he forced himself to hold up his hand and said politely. : "Well, thank you very much, Mr. Zhang, for your life-saving grace."
The latter looked at Guo Jing with a smile, not hiding or dodging, but accepting it calmly. Guo Jing glanced around and found that Zhu Ziliu was not there, and immediately said hesitantly: "Mr. Zhang, where is my friend?"
Of course, he was talking about Zhu Ziliu who was tied behind him. Although he was dead, Guo Jing couldn't help but feel a little scared when he didn't see his body.
Who would have thought that as soon as the words came out, Zhang Yimeng laughed loudly: "Are you talking about that corpse?"
Guo Jing nodded and saw the latter then said arrogantly: "Throw it away."
"??!!"
Guo Jing's eyes were split when he heard this, and a surge of anger surged into the sky. His chest heaved violently with anger: "You! You! How could you do this?!"
He has always been stupid, and even though he was furious at this moment, he didn't know how to get angry.
Glancing at Guo Jing who looked unhappy, Zhang Yimeng said disdainfully: "He is not related to Zhang, and he is still a corpse. Guo Daxia must have seen Ouyang Feng's strength in person. Do you think I will bring a Escape with a corpse?"
"this"
Guo Jing was rendered speechless by Zhang Yimeng, but the truth was as he said. However, morally speaking, Guo Jing just couldn't live with it. After all, he was his closest relative and friend. He couldn't just watch Zhu Ziliu's body exposed in the wilderness and turn a blind eye. , but he couldn't force Zhang Yimeng to do everything for them and kidnap him morally. After all, they saved him, so he had the benefit of saving his life.
No more words were said at the moment, he struggled to get up and walked out.
Zhang Yimeng looked at Guo Jing quietly without saying anything to stop him.
After putting on his shoes, Guo Jing stood up and cupped his hands to express his thanks: "Mr. Zhang's life-saving grace will be remembered by Mr. Guo in his heart, and I will repay him with a spring of water one day."
After saying that, he staggered out of the cave. Zhang Yimeng saw Guo Jing's figure disappearing from the entrance of the cave and smiled contemptuously: "Ah, pedantic."
The King of Wheels, Zhang Yimeng, was a man who acted alternately evil and righteously, and was unpredictable in mood and anger. It was because of his identity that he was able to save Guo Jing.
Zhang Yimeng's father and ancestors both worked in the government for many years. When his father Zhang Xiangdong was a prison guard, he accidentally rescued a stranger who was in prison. The stranger repaid his kindness and taught Zhang Yimeng a set of sword skills and sword skills. Make him a first-class master in the world.
Because of his father's relationship, Zhang Yimeng learned various aspects of household registration, public security, and prison knowledge. As an adult, he was good at forging various documents. He helped the government's cornered warriors regain their lives, and also learned different skills from them. Just like the Wheel-turning King of the Ten Palaces, the ghost is reincarnated, so he is called the "Chakra-turning King".
Zhang Yimeng is from Lantian, Shaanxi Province. Both his father and ancestors have been officials in the government. Especially his father, Zhang Xiangdong, has been working as a clerk in the county government all his life, and has worked almost all the jobs such as superintendent and prison chief.
After every county magistrate took office, he relied heavily on Zhang Xiangdong. Zhang Xiangdong was generous and helpful. He always adhered to the principle of "being in public office and practicing well", and especially liked to help poor people. Lantian, regardless of age or sex, rich or poor, met him. Zhang Xiangdong never calls him by his first name, but respectfully calls him "Mr. Zhang".
Zhang Xiangdong married Pei when he was young. The couple loved each other, but they never had any children. Pei tried to persuade Zhang Xiangdong several times to take a concubine, but he just refused.
Perhaps God couldn't bear to see a good man like Zhang Xiangdong die. When Pei was forty, he finally gave birth to a son. Zhang Xiangdong was overjoyed to have a son in his middle age, but he was afraid that the child would be ill-fated, so he named him "Zhang Yimeng". ".
"Rogue" means people. Zhang Xiangdong hopes that his son will be safe and healthy, and he is satisfied with just being a commoner. However, he never imagined that his son would later become the famous "King of Wheels" in the world, and go all the way. He took the 'evil path' and ran counter to his father's philosophy of establishing himself first.
Zhang Yimeng was very smart since he was a child. He could read at the age of three and started helping his father organize documents at the age of six. Zhang Xiangdong was very satisfied with his son, but he didn't know that Zhang Yimeng was also a martial arts wizard.
In fact, if it hadn't been for an incident that happened when Zhang Yimeng was seven years old, his martial arts talent might have been buried in this family where no one knew martial arts.
One day, a middle-aged male prisoner named Wang Qi was admitted to the county jail. He was a gangster who was roaming around Huashan. Zhang Xiangdong was the cell leader at the time. He carefully checked Wang Qi's condition and found that his hand tendons and hamstrings were injured. He has been picked apart by others, and half of his tongue has been cut off. It can be said that he is a cripple.
Zhang Xiangdong heard from many ordinary people that although Wang Qi was known as a gangster, he always robbed the rich and gave to the poor. Three years ago, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong. Wang Qi robbed thirteen of the richest households in Chang'an overnight and took the proceeds worth more than 30,000 taels. Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were all donated to the disaster areas. For this reason, Zhang Xiangdong told his jailers to take good care of Wang Qi.
On the seventh day of Wang Qi's imprisonment, he suddenly suffered from epilepsy in the middle of the night, foamed at the mouth, and soon lost his breath. Zhang Xiangdong happened to be on duty at night, so he found a man to serve as Wang Qi's body overnight, and then sent the body to Yiyi. Zhuang, three days later, Wang Qi, who was supposed to be buried in a mass grave, appeared alive in Zhang Xiangdong's home.
Of course, at this time, he was no longer Wang Qi, the gangster, but Wu Jiren, Zhang Xiangdong's distant cousin.
It turned out that after Wang Qi was imprisoned, Zhang Xiangdong inquired about his deeds and learned that apart from robbing the rich and giving to the poor, he had never killed anyone. Wang Qi had committed too many crimes, and some of them even went to the head of the government. Therefore, he will definitely die if he is imprisoned this time, and in a few days, Wang Qi will be taken to Chang'an and then to Beijing.
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiangdong finally made up his mind to save the thief, so he found a drug that could induce epilepsy and weak breathing, and secretly put it in Wang Qi's meal.
Naturally, the coroners who conducted the autopsy and the people who took care of the village were all his own. As for Wang Qi's incarnation of "Wu Jiren", Zhang Xiangdong's expertise was also in responding to documents such as identity and directions.
Wang Qi stayed at Zhang's house for a few days and found out that Zhang Xiangdong really rescued him instead of having any conspiracy. Then he felt relieved. He asked Zhang Xiangdong for a pen and paper and wrote down the story of his capture.
Since Wang Qi's hand tendons were severed, it took him two hours to write down his experience. During this time, Mr. Pei brought Zhang Yimeng to deliver tea and snacks.
When Wang Qi saw the young Zhang Yimeng, his dull eyes suddenly shone brightly. So he stopped narrating the past and wrote down seven characters and gave them to Zhang Yimeng. Those seven characters were: Would you like to follow me? Practice martial arts?
When Zhang Yimeng saw these seven words, his face showed a look of joy, and then he looked at his father with pleading eyes. Zhang Xiangdong was sophisticated and the best at observing people's emotions. He saw that Wang Qi was originally lifeless, but after seeing his son, he became energetic. Thinking that his son was a young martial artist, he nodded to Zhang Yimeng.
Seeing this, Zhang Yimeng hurriedly took the tea from his mother's hand, asked Wang Qi to drink it, and then kowtowed three times to complete the apprenticeship ceremony.
After that, Zhang Yimeng began to practice martial arts with Wang Qi. Wang Qi told him that as a criminal thief, although his Qinggong was superb, what was most praised in the world was his set of sword skills and sword skills, which were known as the "Sword and Sword Master".
However, these swordsmanship and swordsmanship have no names, because this way they can be traced and no one can get clues from the names.
At this time, Zhang Xiangdong was nearly fifty years old, and his energy was getting weaker every year. Therefore, in addition to practicing martial arts with Wang Qi, Zhang Yimeng also helped his father organize various paperwork. As Zhang Yimeng grew up, he became more and more skilled in various paperwork. Slowly, he helped his father organize it, then his father gave him instructions to organize it. Until he was eighteen years old, he could complete various paperwork independently. Zhang Xiangdong was also happy to be a carefree shopkeeper.
Of course, over the past eleven years, Zhang Yimeng has been practicing diligently day by day, and has already mastered the essence of Wang Qi Sword. Apart from his slight lack of internal strength and experience, he can compete with the first-class masters in the world.
He just lurks in the city, and his name has not spread in the world.
Later, just after Zhang Yimeng's eighteenth birthday, Wang Qi passed away. Soon after, Zhang Xiangdong also resigned from his yamen job, and recommended Zhang Yimeng to replace him, saying that if his son was no longer useful, he could be fired at any time.
As a result, Zhang Yimeng stayed in the Yamen for a few days and completed the errands quickly and well. He was not inferior to Zhang Xiangdong. The magistrate was very satisfied, so he continued to do it.
In terms of life, Zhang Yimeng inherited Zhang Xiangdong's family tradition and tried his best to help the people. At the same time, because of his good martial arts and high skills, he was naturally bold and went further than his father.
At the beginning, Zhang Yimeng would use the knowledge he learned from his father about household registration, prison sentences, etc., and occasionally help some desperate people to forge various documents and start a new life. Later, as his fame grew, some people in the world also came to him, so he Just continue to expand this "business".
Zhang Yimeng helps people forge new identities, not to reject anyone who comes, but to investigate the good and evil deeds of the person before making a decision. It's just an ordinary kind person, so he can help if he can.
If he is a treacherous person, Zhang Yimeng will easily eliminate harm for the people and uphold justice. If he is a chivalrous person, in addition to providing full services, he will also provide money. As for the source of the money, don't forget his master. He was once a great thief.
According to Buddhist scriptures, there is a theory of "ten kings co-ruling" in the Yama Hall. When a person enters the gate of hell after death, King Guang of Qin must judge the good and evil of the person based on the book of cause and effect of three generations, which is the "Book of Life and Death".
If you feel that this person is more good than evil, you will be sent directly to the Wheel-turning King of the Tenth Hall. The Wheel-turning King will approve the information and allow reincarnation. Then, the Wheel-turning King will determine where you will be reincarnated in your next life based on your good and evil karma. , whether you are human or animal, male or female, rich or humble, old or young, after everything has been determined, ghost messengers will send you across the Wangchuan River, and according to the size of your blessing, you will be given gold, silver, copper, and iron. , planks, Naihe Six Bridges.
Zhang Yimeng opened up different new lives for people based on their good and evil deeds. He never failed, just like the wheel-turning king who sent ghosts to reincarnate. Therefore, he gradually became known as the "wheel-turning king".
His willingness to save Guo Jing is naturally inseparable from his own growth experience. He admires people like Guo Jing and Zhang Yimeng. He is the judge of the world. Whether he is evil or good depends on the sword in his hand.
He is not afraid of offending the government or people in the world at all. He lives alone and can be regarded as a weirdo.
In the original work, Huang Rong and others secretly frowned when they heard his name. They bluntly said that being entangled with such a weirdo would be a headache. That would be sixteen years later.
But at this time, Zhang Yimeng appeared not for Guo Jing, but for another person.
In chapter two, Zhang Yimeng’s deeds need to be explained clearly, because he will be the protagonist’s most capable general in the future.
